Aerobic exercise is better for the brain
t seems like no all exercise is equal in terms of maintaining brain function. Aerobic exercise seems to maintain or increase brain function more than other forms of exercise, at least if you're a lab rat. This finding seems to correspond with what I experience anecdotally when I found that I could concentrate somewhat better after long aerobic sessions rather than climbing or lifting weights. Aside from brain function, I just feel better after a bout of aerobic exercise than any other forms.
